So wait. According to UN cannabis was more strictly limited than cocaine?
Based on perusal on the drug categories before this change one could get prescription of cocaine but not cannabis. This is absolutely hilarious.

Marijuana is seen as having no medically accepted use, therefore it’s more illegal than cocaine.
This just happens to work out for those with more money who are more likely to do cocaine than they are schedule 1 drugs like marijuana and crack (which is basically refined cocaine)
Except at this point it's obvious to even the most arrogant "evidence-based" medicine advocate that marijuana is indeed medically useful, and moreover that it is neither highly addicting nor dangerous, and that Schedule 1 classification for it makes absolutely no medical or legal sense.
“Milk of the poppy” is obviously a stand-in for opiates (derived from the opium poppy), not cocaine.
But, yes, There is a history of cocaine being used with opiates as a pain treatment, especially in end-of-life cases.
Still, having Cannabis at Schedule IV is funny.
